JEREMIAH J. RICHARDSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BROILER FOR RANGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Lettera Patent No. 332,558, dated December15, 1885.

Application filed June 25, 1884. Serial No. 135,997. (No model.) 1

To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, JEREMIAH J. RICH- ARDSON, of the city, county, andState of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inBroilers for Ranges, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in broilers for use withranges having interior grates, which will be first described withreference to the accompanying drawings and then pointed out particularlyin the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of thisspecification, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improvedbroiler casing or cover. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of a range, showing my present invention applied.

A represents the broiler-casing before referred to, provided with ahandle, a, and supporting-piece a. The front or face of the casing isleft open at A for exposing the contents of the broiler to the surfaceof the grate. A flange, A, extends around this opening, and is utilizedfor retaining the broiler in position within the casing. At the outerend the casing is provided with a door, B, through which the broiler isinserted.

In the door B, I provide an opening, b, through which the handles of thebroiler may extend when in position within the casing.

G G are bridges within the casing, on which the broiler may rest.

\Vhen the broiler is first inserted in the casing, it may be placed in aposition most convenient for moving it in and out, as shown in dottedlines in Fig. 2, (the door being of course open,) and afterward turnedupward against the flanges A and facing the opening A, as shown infigure. By this means the parts may be more conveniently manipulated.

The broiler is shown in dotted lines at D.

E is a range having an oven, 13, the latter being provided with a grateor broiling-surface, G. These parts are shown in the per spective viewin Fig. 3.

Although I have shown but one form of my improved broiler-casing, I wishit to be distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to this form,as I may and have constructed them oval-shaped or round both at the topand at the back.

The whole casing may be modified, as far as the shape or contour of thesame is concerned, without departing from the spirit of my invention,which is broadly a casing or cover for broilers adapted to be used inconnection with ranges, as described. The permanent end and the door Bmay also be dispensed with, if desired, these spaces in such instancesbeing allowed to remain open.

I am aware that broiler-casings adapted to be placed over stove-lidholes to receive a broiler through the top or one end and expose it tothe action of flame and heat passing through said holes are old, andthat the same and other broilers have been provided with receptacles fordrippings from the meat. I am also aware that upright broiler-casingshave been placed before open grates of stoves, having their open facesexposed to said grates, and having means for applying the broiler to thecasing either through the open face at top or at back. I am also awarethat broilers without casings have been used in ovens of ranges havinginterior grates. I am also aware that in casings adapted for thebroiling of meats transverse bridges have been arranged for supportingthe broiler. These several constructions I therefore disclaim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A broiler-casing for ovens provided with interior grates, which consistsof an upright inclosing device for the broiler, having an open uprightface for exposing the broiler to the grate, and flanges at the sides forpreventing the broiler from falling forward, an open end for withdrawingthe broiler without removing the casing from the oven, a closed top,back, and inner end, a receptacle in its lower portion for receiving thedrippings, and

the transverse bridges for supporting the broiler.
